My other arm is inked by Pete Schröder. The time we started this arm he was working in his shop, Shipwreck Tattoo, at the Nieuwe Binnenweg in Rotterdam. Pete had worked together with Nico from 25 to life at the Inkstitution. I choose Pete to do my tattoo cause I love his style. He uses pastel colours which look beautiful in a tattoo. This arm took us quite some sessions. Duting my right arm work Pete closed his tattoo shop. We had two sessions at his old shop, three at his house and the last session was at Tattoo Jan where Pete worked as a guest. I still feel I need some more ink by Pete to finish this arm but unfortionally he is abroad for two months. Good news he is comming back at tattoo Jan for some more work!

i love color tattoos!! (on other people), i dont think i'll ever get inked unless i get inked with henna.
Your is pretty amazing though.
Oh and idk how the graffiti chocolate tastes, i read about it in an art magazine and theyre kind of pricey >_<
Thanks! Henna is cool too, you can have the joy of a tatto temporay :)
Well, the graffiti is just the wrapping, you can't judge a book by it's cover, neither can you do with chocolate. In my honest opinion Belgium fabrical chocolate is best, brands like Cote Dor and Calebout are delicious. Handmade chocolate by Dutch chocolate makes "de bonte koe" are king!
I love all the elements combined -the roses, the snake- all the colors. Very good tatoo. Did you design it? or you gave him an idea of what you wanted and he came up with it?
Thank you Raiment. I had the idea and gave Pete the go. The idea was to have a cartoon like protrat of Jesus holding a black sheep. I had the idea from the song "black sheep boy" by Okkerville River. The rest kinda came along. The snakes are actually one snake with two heads, one snake has a splitten tongue and the other one not respresenting the duality in life. The roses are a symbol of mysticism.
